Planet Atmos: Exordium (2026)

Some heists succeed, some fail, and some fail so spectacularly as to set off a chain of events that irrevocably alter a planet’s future. After triggering security alarms in the underground stronghold of an intergalactic pharmaceutical conglomerate, a ragtag group of thieves must use every trick at their disposal to escape and survive. The fates of legendary racing pilot, Pesh Chosen and the fugitive known as Addy Aker collide and neither them, nor Planet Atmos, will ever be the same. Planet Atmos: Exordium is the first entry in the Planet Atmos universe of games and stories.

Recruited by the injured Pesh Chosen to save his team's season, Addy Aker must prove herself against elite competition in qualifying races. From the determined heir of the Vulkansson dynasty to the venerable Ta’Walli Dies Young, Addy has her work cut out for her. Violence in racing—while not encouraged—is permitted, but the savage fury Addy unleashes shocks even her new allies. What darkness drives her and what eyes has she drawn to their sport? Planet Atmos: Exordium is the first entry in the Planet Atmos universe of games and stories.

Beneath the surface of Atmos, miners die in Emergent's tunnels while a radical faction called Ordnance plots a violent reckoning above. As the first league race of the ExoGP season approaches, Addy Aker is caught between the criminal underworld of her past and the electrifying sport that could become her future. But on Atmos, choosing sides is a luxury few can afford. And the season hasn't even started yet.

The ExoGP season resumes in the wake of bloodshed. Huskarl Captain Buel is hunting for answers. Addy Aker is a marked woman - a target for every pilot with a grudge from qualifying. Behind the scenes, Jötun scientist Oda has taken a sinister interest in Addy, one that threatens to expose secrets buried across star systems. On the track and off, the walls are closing in.
